Sen. Jon Kyl Is “Skeptical” Of The 9/11 First Responders Bill

On Fox News Sunday today, host Chris Wallace brought up the subject of the 9/11 First Responders bill, which would provide healthcare coverage to those who were first responders at the scene on 9/11. Senator Jon Kyl told Wallace “It’s a lot of money, so my early response is that I am skeptical about that bill.”

Wallace pressed harder, asking “Don’t these heroes deserve to have peace of mind when it comes to health care?” Kyl responded that he agrees, but that he believes Congress is pushing too hard to try to pass the bill before Christmas, and that they should wait until the new year where they can take their time in addressing the bill, so that they don’t create “bad legislation.”
